Bright Zen Retreat in a Longère – Table d’hôtes & Flowered Terrace
Welcome to this zen retreat, a true haven of peace nestled in the heart of a 20th-century longère. The bamboo-green walls and abundant natural light create a soothing atmosphere from the moment you enter—perfect for unwinding and recharging away from daily life.
Located in the center of Bû village, the gîte is just steps from all shops: bakery, butcher, grocery store, florist, hairdresser—all within walking distance. The property covers 5,000 m² and offers private parking, plus a shared, flower-filled, shaded terrace where you can relax together.
At the table d’hôtes (available for an extra fee), enjoy breakfasts, lunches, and dinners prepared with fresh, mostly organic ingredients, following traditional culinary methods. For your events, a reception room for up to 30 people with a professional kitchen is available to rent.
Within a 40-minute radius, you’ll discover exceptional heritage: Château d’Anet (9 km), a Renaissance jewel dedicated to Diane de Poitiers; the medieval Donjon of Houdan (7 km); the Royal Chapel of Dreux (10 km), resting place of French royalty; Château de Maintenon (40 min); and Thoiry Zoo (30 min). The Dreux national forest, ideal for hiking and cycling, is just 5 minutes away.
